Spring Cleaning Giveaway!

~This giveaway is now CLOSED!~

Call it spring cleaning, call it nesting - either way, I've been busy cleaning and organizing our closets! I discovered a bunch of school supplies that I no longer need or that I have duplicates of and I thought who better to share them with than one of you!

A little of this, a little of that -just a hodgepodge set of cut outs and stickers.

Here's a close up of what's included...

Fruits. I removed the packaging from these cut outs and so I can't recall the name of the company that makes them, but they are awesome! They're quite large and the images are very real-looking.

Vegetables. Great for a farm unit. And, with these and the fruits, you could provide your child with a simple sorting activity (fruits vs. vegetables).

Sand dollars. Not enough for a calendar board, but you could use them as cards in a 'cards and counters' activity. Great for a beach theme!

Jumbo US coins. These are a lot of fun and come with a cut out for the front and the back of the coin. We used ours during our recent money lesson. (Note, the real coin is pictured for size perspective only :).

Color cards. I used these with James a few years ago when he was first learning about colors - click here to see our lesson.

Butterflies. We used these during our spring unit. You could create nomenclature cards and/or labels to match them or have your child hunt through a butterfly book to try and identify them.

Stickers. A set of 20 different sheets, all unused. There are LOTS of ways to use stickers - I often use them in our themes by making scissor practice strips or to make math cards. The letter sheets in this set could be used as a mini moveable alphabet!

A humble offering, but I hope it's one that will benefit someone's classroom! :) Here's what you need to do if you'd like to enter to win...

I am a kindergarten teacher and LOVE your blog!! I have used it all year to get some great ideas!! This is only my second year in kindergarten...so I am grateful to add anything to my classroom. Thank you so much for sharing!!

This would be wonderful to win! I am just starting a tot school for my daughter this summer (she is just turning 2) and I am becoming overwhelmed with all the things to get :) Its hard to find a good place to start!

I'm having trouble posting comments (503 errors) so I don't remember if I posted that I already like you on facebook or that I already follow your blog. Either way, I do both! Your blog is one of my favorites and I look forward to each new post.
